I telephone interviewed with him and, although I met all the educational and techinical requirements along with having plenty of industry-related knowledge and expereince, it seemed that my expereince was not "job-specific" and "recent" enough for their satisifaction.

They want the "perfect match" so they don't have to provide training and the recruiters can cover their @sses just in case you don't workout. - Typical. :(

I too submitted my resume a while back. The recruiter called. I exceeded all requirements and have worked with several at the mill advertised. The recruiter had absolutely ZERO technical knowledge, so I had really no questions he could answer. His concern was to educate me on the history of GP. Well, I've been around this industry for over 12 years and I know all about the history of GP.

From speaking with headhunters, GP has evolved/devolved into an even more coporate nature since the Koch aqusition.

What does it take to work @ GP
I am aware that GP is more than just paper. I've been in the design industry for at least 30 years. I use GP's products every day. Like most frustrated job seekers, we are looking for that perfect position that allows for personal and professional growth and satisfaction.

I have accomplished a great deal in 30 yrs, but there is more to do. Is GP age and color phobic?

OK Jacob I live in Shepherd Texas. Just moved there from La Porte. It would be great to live where the job is close. How hard are you pushing the degree? What kind of fit are you looking for? I have 20+ years of experience in safety.

If you are interested in applying to Georgia-Pacific anywhere, go to GP.com/careers. If you have an interest in coming to Savannah or Brunswick, call 912-238-1050 for more information. Savannah and Brunswick are looking to fill the following positions:
Savannah - Maintenance Mechanics and Electricians, Production Employees, Heavy Equipment Operators
Brunswick - Production Employees, Production Manager, HR GeneralistGood luck!

I applied for the FMLA,Safety position in Palatka. My profile states that I have not applied for any jobs, so I tried to apply for the position again. The automated program would not allow me to do that, stating I had already applied. I am confused, so I called Jacob and left him a voice message. I have not heard from him, and I am wondering if my resume was received and if the position is still open. Thanks!

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

Avoid this company like the plague, poor management, poor decisions, not anywhere near the same company since koch took over. Unless of course you like long hours, no/rare weekends, no family life and being walked out the door on someone’s whim for some sort of fabricated "safety" issue...watch you back here at all times. It may sound like im just a digruntled employee but Im not. Every job I have ever had I have found good in, this one on the other hand has no moral fabric to bind to.

I live in northeast Ohio and i applied at Georgia Pacific three months ago.I had an interveiw a month and two weeks ago.At the interveiw the recruiter said that they would be contacting me in two weeks.It's been over a month now.I am not working there as of yet.But whenever i email the recruiter and ask,if iam still a candidate to be hired,i am told yes.Is this there practice to take this long,or is it that they seen at the interview that i was african american and there not so interested in me now ?? Would someone out there know ??

I submitted a application for a MGR IT position at the Pennington, AL facility and heard nothing. I meet all the requierements even having knowledge of the manufacturing software. I currently live in Northeast Ohio but very interested in the opportunity. What is the wait time before you hear back.

Hi my name is Angela Chess. I am diligently trying to become a Georgia Pacific employee at the Pennington Al location. My father has worked there for over 30 year and he loves it. I have production and administrative experience. I am looking for a great career and Georgia Pacific is where I want to be. If you can please provide any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I have also been trying to get into GP in Brunswick, GA. I just wish there was some way to follow up on resumes after submitting them. Although I have not worked in a mill, I do have inventory, administration and hr experience. I am not a person to flit from job to job and would be a long term, loyal employee. It's just getting the opportunity to talk to someone.

I would like the opportunity to present my credentials to a member of the GP recruiting team for the Human Resources Manager position (Requisition ID: 010161) in Bay Springs, MS. I have a MPPA in Public Administration with an emphasis on Personnel Management and over 4 years experience in Human Resources.
